First Publications

Students’ First Published Article

Our department supports graduate students in their academic journey in many ways, but one of the most important is by guiding them through the process of publishing their first scholarly paper. It is essential to acknowledge the accomplishments of graduate students who have served as first authors on their inaugural peer-reviewed journal article.
